Chapter 395

Meng Zining and the others witnessed Lin Bai's feat of destroying the palace; though shocked by the scene, their hearts were filled with doubt and confusion. They gathered together, each expressing their inner questions.

Meng Zining frowned and spoke with doubt: "Lin Bai, is destroying the palace like this too extreme? The content of this trial is clearly to defeat the man in black; what use is destroying the palace?"

Lin Bai stopped his actions, turned around to face the crowd, a hint of smile in his eyes, also full of confidence: "However, in reality, do you think challenging a Supreme Realm expert relying solely on the Golden Core Realm is realistic?"

"The core theme of this trial is the original intention. What is the original intention?"

"The original intention is the good thought in the heart. When one holds a pure aspiration, striving for a cause, the original intention begins deep in the heart, pure and unadulterated, like a newborn infant without selfishness or desire."

"The original intention is like the first bloom of spring flowers, breeding hope and determination!"

"The original intention is to harbor the world in one's heart, to have lofty ambitions, where the noble and the benevolent delight in public service."

"The original intention is the arrow pursuing dreams, fearing not the steep dangers of difficulty."

"The original intention strives forward, taking the realization of belief as its duty; as years pass and life's trivialities constantly erode the original intention."

"Yet the original intention must not be forgotten; one must persist with perseverance, like a night-watch candle that never ceases, like a flowing spring that never stops."

"The original intention, bearing courage and perseverance, takes the first step, only then can one cross mountains and rivers and fly toward the vast sky."

"The original intention, comprehending the state of mind of the Dao, becomes clearer day by day, for oneself and for others."

"The original intention, though surrounded by worldly suffering, can remain calm and composed, unchanged in self, always consistent."

"The original intention is the brilliance bestowed by the Creator; do not forget the original intention, for only then is the key to success obtained!"

Seeing Meng Zining and the others listening somewhat bewildered, Lin Bai explained again: "Actually, the key to solving this trial lies in what your initial thought was when you first stepped onto the path of cultivation!"

"Did you persist?"

"If you stray from the path, then your end will be the same as Chen Beizhi's!"

"That is why the man in black said he could not enter the Nameless Sacred Land!"

Meng Zining still asked, somewhat puzzled: "But according to what you say, passing this trial still depends on one's own heart?"

"But the problem is, what exactly is your original intention?"

Actually, what she wanted to say more was that every move Lin Bai made looked like a violation of his own original intention.

The so-called path of cultivation, the initial heart is nothing more than immortality, power, strength, and so on; yet once stepping onto the path of cultivation, with thousands of roads open to them, how can one maintain the original intention?"

Lin Bai smiled and explained: "I know what you want to say; actually, my original intention has only one: to become strong enough!"

"From beginning to end, not the slightest change!"

The others nodded in understanding one after another, but the problem was, there was no sign of the man in black disappearing!

What is going on then?

Meng Zining suddenly realized, looking at Lin Bai with a tense expression: "Senior Brother Lin, if your original intention is to become strong enough, then you might have to completely defeat this man in black to pass the trial smoothly!"

After all, if the theme of this trial is set according to their original intentions, then what is the purpose of the man in black?

The answer is obvious: it is to verify whether their original intention has changed!

And the best way to verify is naturally to defeat him!

However, that man in black is a Supreme Realm expert!

To defeat him, how easy is that???

Lin Bai naturally knew this, and the reason he destroyed this palace was to break the restrictions!

Relying solely on his own strength to challenge a Supreme Realm expert would definitely not work, but if this precious sword is added, the situation is different!

Although he did not know what the upper limit of this precious sword was, regardless, he had to fight the man in black, so he might as well make all preparations!

"Although saying it sounds a bit arrogant, I do have some capital!"

"Today, I will kill a Supreme Realm expert with ten sword strikes!"

Lin Bai's sword-like eyebrows furrowed slightly, his gaze sharp as a blade, coldly fixing on the Supreme Realm expert who was four realms higher than him, a fierce aura radiating from his body.

Meng Zining and the junior sisters all opened their mouths in surprise, their eyes filled with disbelief and shock.

They exchanged silent glances, their faces showing a collective incredulity.

"This... this is absolutely impossible!" Meng Zining stammered, her voice revealing deep doubt.

They thought their eyes or ears were broken, or that Lin Bai was making an utterly absurd joke.

After all, for a strong person four realms higher, it is like the bright moon in the sky, within reach yet impossible to attain.

Meng Zining bit her lip, her brows tightly locked, pondering bitterly; she knew Lin Bai was a genius, and even the designated tenth Holy Son, but to kill a Supreme Realm expert four realms higher than himself, this was undoubtedly a fantasy.

Her heart was also filled with confusion and lostness, generating huge doubt about Lin Bai's ability.

And the other junior sisters tightly bit their lower lips, hesitation and unease flashing in their eyes; they had indeed praised and admired Lin Bai's strength, but now facing this unimaginable task, she began to waver.

She could not believe Lin Bai truly had the ability to do it.

However, even though Meng Zining and the others did not believe Lin Bai could do it, they had to admit the fact before their eyes.

Lin Bai's gaze revealed a resolute, firm will, as if he had already made up his mind.

Amidst everyone's incredulity and doubt, Lin Bai took a firm step, walking toward the Supreme Realm expert who was four realms higher than himself.

His figure was like a sharp sword, moving forward bravely, fearless.

This scene made Meng Zining and the others sigh: "He actually walked over!"

Meng Zining urgently shouted at Lin Bai: "Lin Bai! Do not be impulsive! This is too dangerous! How can you challenge a Supreme Realm expert? You are no match!" Her voice was filled with worry and anxiety, clearly revealing deep concern for Lin Bai's safety.

The junior sister traveling with them, Elder Ouyang Lan, tightly held Meng Zining's hand, anxious light flashing in her eyes: "Lin Bai, listen to our advice, this is seeking death! Your strength is insufficient to contend with the Supreme Realm; taking risks brings you no benefit!"

Her voice trembled slightly; she could no longer remain calm, her heart filled with worry for Lin Bai.
